Access to Knowledge programme at the New Delhi office. Prior to this position, he was the
Senior Development Officer for the Sir Ratan Tata Trust (SRTT), a position that he has
help since 2007. His experience spans across academics, industry (media) and the
not-for-profit sector. Over the last 11 years, he has worked in various capacities as a
researcher, grant manager, teacher, project consultant, information architect and
translator. Prior to joining CIS, Vishnu managed the Art, Crafts and Culture portfolio of
the SRTT, where he spent 5 years performing project conceptualization, management and
assessment of quality and impact in the not-for-profit sector.
Vishnu managed more than 30 projects and funds to the tune of Rs. 160 million. He also
